Despite the fact that Voice Command is already available for Windows Mobile phones, Gizmodo, and other technology sites are reporting that a Tellme App is coming to Windows Mobile 6.5 in the fall. The new App should be available for free via the Windows Marketplace for Mobile, or embedded on handsets.

Tellme a mobile voice company became a subsidiary two years ago, and currently have products available for the Blackberry platform,  Samsung Instinct as well as for Ford’s Sync System. It includes using voice command for text messaging, making calls, web searches etc.

None of these features are new to long time Voice Command users, and even using voice command for web searches has been available in Live Search. What Tellme does seem to do, is create a unified interface for all of this functionality, and best of all it’s free!

Sources also state that the product will be more integrated at the carrier level, and use GPS and Cell tower triangulation to localize searches such as traffic searches and movies.

Head over to Tellme’s site if you want to be notified when this product becomes available for Windows Mobile, (Blackberry users remember there’s already a client available for you) and also check out a brief video over at Windows Mobile Experts on some of the functionality of Microsoft’s Tellme.

What other things do you think Microsoft could improve about Voice Command, and in turn Tellme?

  • The biggest improvement to Voice Command would be Bluetooth voice dialing. My Samsung Omnia has Voice Command, but I can't find a way to initiate dialing by pressing the button on my Bluetooth headset. My Motorola Q and Q9m supported that.

    A long time ago, I read there was a hack to enable Bluetooth voice dialing, but that shouldn't be necessary.
